New still sealed 12" vinyl LP.
Arriving seemingly perfectly formed from nowhere, Roxy Music’s
self-titled debut instantly propelled the band into the affections of
both the music-buying public and the serious music press – no mean feat
in 1972. Frontman Bryan Ferry’s lyrical evocations of romance and
glamour, pop-art references and allusions to both old Hollywood and
future shock sci-fi came showcased against an eclectic and unique
musical soundscape forever immortalised in the record’s 1950s-style
album cover – one of the most iconic record sleeves of the 1970s.
Debuting inside the UK Top 10 the album would go on to be seen one of
the most pioneering and important debut albums of all time. For this
50th anniversary edition ‘Roxy Music’ has been given a fresh Half-Speed
cut by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios in London. To reflect the
enhanced audio, the album artwork has been similarly revised with lyrics
and a deluxe gloss laminated finish. This isn’t just a record; it’s a
piece of modern art. SIDE A 1. Re-Make/Re-Model 2. Ladytron 3. If There
